From a Wall Street Journal review by Jonathan W. Jordan of the book by Robert L. O’Connell titled “Team America: Patton, MacArthur, Marshall, Eisenhower, and the World They Forged”:

Like an aging superhero-film franchise, World War II biographies have morphed from single-subject works into wine-and-brie superstar pairings. By last century’s end, historians such as William Manchester, Forrest Pogue, Carlo D’Este and Stephen Ambrose had produced monumental biographies of Gens. Douglas MacArthur (“American Caesar,” 1978), George C. Marshall (4 volumes, 1963-1987), George S. Patton (“Genius for War,” 1995) and Dwight Eisenhower (“The Supreme Commander,” 1970), among others. What could top these biographical landmarks? Multileader blockbusters, that’s what.
